Elizabeth II: accidental queen turned beloved monarch
London (AFP) - She only became queen by a twist of fate but now, aged 89, Elizabeth II is about to become Britain's longest-serving monarch in a reign spanning the post-war era to the digital age. A constant in an ever-changing world, she is at the height of her prestige and "embodies the history of the 20th century", according to historian Kate Williams. The queen has met most of the major figures in recent history, from India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru to Japanese emperor Hirohito and French general turned statesman Charles de Gaulle. South Africa's anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela called her "my friend", while her reign has seen the construction and the destruction of the Berlin Wall. The sprawling British empire of the Victorian era, on which it was said that the sun never set, has shrunk to a few remnants during her reign. Most recently, Hong Kong was handed over to China in 1997. Yet even in far-flung parts of the world, "when people refer to the queen they almost always mean our queen," said John Major, one of the 12 prime ministers to have held office during her reign. Britain's slender republican movement condemns a system based on inherited privilege. But for many, the queen is a mainstay in a multi-ethnic country increasingly riven by regional divisions, including in Scotland, which voted against independence last year. - The ascent of 'Lilibet' - Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor's birth on April 21, 1926 was a relatively minor event for a world teetering between two world wars and just three years away from the Great Depression. The curly-haired "Lilibet" was destined for marriage, not the throne. But after reigning for just 325 days, her childless uncle Edward VIII abdicated in 1936 to marry Wallis Simpson, a twice-divorced American. Princess Elizabeth's father inherited the crown as George VI and she suddenly became heir to the throne. When the young Elizabeth and her sister Margaret had to move to Buckingham Palace, she asked her nanny: "What -- you mean forever?" On her 21st birthday, she vowed to spend her life serving her country. On November 20, 1947 she married Philip -- a distant cousin who renounced his titles as prince of Greece and Denmark and his career in the Royal Navy to be with her. She has described him as "my strength and stay". When George VI died at the age of 56 in 1952 she became queen aged just 25 and with two young children: Charles (born in 1948) and Anne (1950). Two others came later -- Andrew (1960) and Edward (1964). Her role is highly ceremonial and she remains above the fray of politics. Every year, she reads out the programme of the government of the day at the State Opening of Parliament. Her voice remains neutral and high-pitched, even when the proposals include measures she is suspected of opposing, such as banning the traditional sport of fox-hunting. "Ma'am" as her subjects address her, also presides over the Commonwealth composed of 54 members, including 15 former colonies where she is still the sovereign, such as Australia and Canada. Usually dressed in bright colours so as to be seen by everyone despite her petite size, she has carried out some groundbreaking and exotic visits including to China, the Vatican and the Cocos Islands. "The primary role of the monarchy is to sell the British brand and the queen is very good at it," said royal biographer Robert Jobson. - 'Annus horribilis' to revival - Despite the widespread respect she now commands, her reign has had plenty of ups and downs. In 1981, her heir Charles married Diana in a fairytale wedding that quickly turned sour despite the birth of their two sons William and Harry. She called 1992 her "annus horribilis" when the marriages of three of her children -- Charles, Anne and Andrew -- fell apart and her castle in Windsor was badly burnt in a fire. In 1997, the queen was accused of being out of touch as her subjects wept for the death of Diana in a Paris car crash while she remained at her country estate in Scotland for days before coming to acknowledge the crowds of mourners in London. In the two decades since, though, there has been a remarkable turnaround for the monarchy -- helped along by a powerful communications machine. The queen has cut palace budgets and William's marriage to commoner Kate Middleton has helped create the image of a more modern monarchy. Her 66-year-old son Charles is increasingly taking her place at public engagements but experts agree that she will most likely hold on to the end and not follow her Dutch and Spanish royal peers by abdicating. "It's possible going forward if she wasn't feeling particularly well or was physically infirm that her son Prince Charles could act as regent," said Jobson. "Nobody is saying she would abdicate." She has visited 132 countries, posed for 139 portraits and given thousands of speeches, though never an interview. Her private life is largely a mystery. The monarchy's official website says she still goes horse riding and has 30 Corgi dogs in her palaces. Rare indiscretions from palace insiders have revealed her love of the "Racing Post" newspaper's horse racing tips, a Dubonnet and gin before lunch and crossword puzzles.

Suvlaki: restaurant review
On a visit to Suvlaki to show solidarity with the Greeks, Jay finds fine street food – and a dent in his wallet 21 BATEMAN STREET, LONDON, W1 (020 7287 6638). MEAL FOR TWO, INCLUDING DRINKS AND SERVICE: £70 So very much is expected of the modern restaurant-goer: the hyper-sensitivity to distinguish the quality of one tonkotsu stock from another; the knees to put up with all that queueing at non-reservation places; the sangfroid to pull off mayonnaise dribbling down your arms as you eat by a food truck, as desperate for emergency Kleenex as a 15-year-old boy at bedtime; a plausible enough manner to claim convincingly that no one understands how good genuine Mexican food is, when the closest you’ve been to Tijuana is a budget bottle of tequila from Aldi.

Former Malaysian Leader Joins Massive Anti-Government Protests
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Former Malaysian leader Mahathir Mohamad, joining anti-government protesters for a second day on Sunday, called for a "people's power" movement to topple Prime Minister Najib Razak over a financial scandal. "The only way for the people to get back to the old system is for them to remove this prime minister," said Mahathir, a deeply respected 90-year-old who was once Najib's patron and is now his fiercest critic. "And to remove him, the people must show people's power. The people as a whole do not want this kind of corrupt leader," he told media before heading to the rally, whose numbers police estimated at 25,000. The two-day protest brought onto the streets a political crisis triggered by reports of a mysterious transfer worth more than $600 million into an account under Najib's name. Najib, who denies wrongdoing, has weathered the storm and analysts say the protest is unlikely to inspire broad public support for him to quit because it lacks a strong leader. The rally, unlike the last one in 2012, also lacks the support of a party identified with the Malay majority: most protesters were from the minority ethnic Chinese and Indian communities. However, Mahathir - the country's longest-serving leader - was a leader of the ruling United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), which represents Malays. UMNO Vice-President Hishammuddin Hussein said that by turning up unexpectedly at the anti-government rally on Saturday, Mahathir had "crossed over the line." Another UMNO leader, Jamal Yunos, told Reuters that 1 million government supporters would stage a rally on Oct. 10 that would trump the protests of the past two days. Mahathir's siding with protesters sits oddly with the often-authoritarian style of his own 22-year rule until 2003, during which Malaysia became a powerhouse of economic development but also won a reputation for cronyism and dubious "mega-projects." Najib was once a protégé of Mahathir, just as the now-jailed Anwar Ibrahim - once widely viewed as Mahathir's heir apparent - was before him. Anwar fell from favor when he began a popular "reformasi" (reform) movement against the graft and nepotism he said marked Malaysia's business and political worlds. Mahathir sacked him from his posts, and charges of sodomy and corruption followed. Mahathir has always maintained that the sodomy charges were genuine and made Anwar unfit to be leader. RIOT TRUCKS On Sunday, security remained tight and anti-riot trucks stood ready, but there were no reports of violence. City authorities rejected an application by pro-democracy group Bersih for a protest permit, which had raised fears of a repeat of the 2012 rally when police used water cannon and teargas to disperse protesters. In a sign the government was losing patience, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi warned organizers they could face legal action. "They must face the consequences if they dare to break the law," he said, the New Straits Times reported online. The national news agency Bernama said 12 people in the southwestern city of Malacca were arrested for wearing the signature yellow T-shirts of the protests, which the government had banned before the rally. Najib said in a speech later that demonstrations were "not the right channel to voice views in a democratic country," and cited the religious leader of an Islamic party-ruled Malaysian state as saying the protests were illegal in the eyes of Islam. Malaysia has been gripped since July by reports that investigators probing allegations of mismanagement and corruption at the debt-laden state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad had discovered the transfer into Najib's account. The country's anti-corruption agency has said the funds were a donation from an unidentified Middle East donor. Najib, who says he did not take any money for personal gain, sacked his deputy and ministers who had questioned him as he sought to contain the scandal. The attorney-general who had been investigating 1MDB was also replaced. Authorities also suspended two newspapers and blocked access to a website that had reported extensively on 1MDB. Najib retains significant support from the long-ruling Barisan Nasional coalition and his party, UMNO. The coalition, in power since 1957, lost the popular vote for the first time in 2013 to an opposition alliance that split earlier this year. However, he is under pressure over his handling of the economy, which has been hit by a slump in energy prices that threaten oil and gas revenues, and Malaysia's currency plummeted this month to 17-year lows against the dollar. Najib said in his speech at a convention center that some people with an agenda had tried to spread lies that "Malaysia would become bankrupt like Greece." "It is clearly proven that Malaysia is not a failed state, as claimed by some," he said. "It is far from a bankrupt nation. We are still in a stable condition, with solid fundamentals, and remain competitive." _ALSO ON HUFFPOST:_ -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.

Greek leftists say they would apply bailout but fight to ease pain
The leftist Syriza party of former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will challenge Greece's creditors on unresolved aspects of the nation's bailout but implement unpopular reforms it has already agreed, it said on Sunday. As opinion polls showed Syriza's lead eroding, its campaign programme reflected unease about the 86 billion euros ($96 billion) rescue package it will have to follow if voted back into power, pledging to battle creditors on some areas still up for discussion if it is re-elected. Tsipras resigned this month to pave the way for early elections, aiming for a stronger mandate to implement an EU/IMF bailout and rid his party of anti-bailout rebels.
